Here's a film made by one of my former students (from UC Merced, now at CSU Chico). I'd love to hear your feedback. |

I thought it was pretty interesting how first generation Hmong people think that the second and third generations are lazy. There seems to be a big gap between traditional Hmong culture and American culture. When the Hmong people where in Thailand they had to work hard to make money for food. They mostly did sewing of cloths and farming to provide for their families. Now that they are in America the new generation Hmong do not need to do these things too survive. This causes the decline of the Hmong culture because they are no longer practicing traditional Hmong culture. I have seen this happen to my culture too over the years. I come from a big Portuguese community but as time has gone by less and less people are practicing our traditions.

Hmong culture considers the Vietnam War the secret war that had happen. It made it so hard on these poeple and kids. The lady's dads job was to save every american that fallen. When the war ended the americans moved back. Anybody who was Hmong was rot be persecuted and lost there homes. Scary time for these innocent families who had to hide for there lives. They mentioned that a lot younger generations are preoccupied with school and living the american style life. They don't practice sewing no more because they don't need it. I can relate to this because coming from my hispanic background I have noticed more families not celebrating certain traditions. For example like quinceanera's aren't celebrated as much anymore and can be very costly.
